This new RG Premium electric guitar, the RG870Z, stands astride quality and affordability with a foot (bout?) planted firmly in each camp by providing a combination of moderate price, superior quality, pro features, and excellent feel and finish. The 2-piece body has an American basswood center while the Wizard Premium neck is given the Premium fret edge treatment for a fast, smooth feel. An HSH pickup array of CAP VM1 neck humbucker, CAP VM1S middle single-coil, and CAP VM2 bridge humbucker present you with a veritable plethora of tone choices. The Edge Zero II bridge with the ZPS3Fe spring system returns you to "zero" ” center point ” after each use of the tremolo arm that allows radical tremolo effects with flawless tuning accuracy.

Basswood bodyBasswood is a comparatively lightweight wood, which makes it very comfortable for extended playing. With a good balance of highs and lows, basswood is right in between alder and mahogany in sound character.

Great guitar, but I found one very bad thing about this guitar. I had this guitar for around 5 months before my first string broke when I was playing a solo. I started to replace the string and when I was winding the string up, it slipped out of the bridge. So far, I've had 3 of 7 strings replaced not slip out. Other than the string problems, I don't have many other complaints about it. As a metal player, I can say that this guitar has fantastic sound quality. Natural/pinch harmonics sound amazing, sweeping is made easier with the thin neck, power chords sound good, and the fret height is perfect. I normally like to play until my fingers are close to bleeding and it holds in tune very well. I would recommend this guitar to others, but I would suggest one asks another owner of the guitar how his/her experience with the strings has been before buying.
